Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Walford, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Walford

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Questions from Walford

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Walford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Walford?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Walford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
